Lyrics
[Intro – soft piano arpeggios, faint vinyl crackle]
(Instrumental Solo)
[Verse 1 – slow, swaying rhythm, warm vocal harmonies]
Your smile wraps around me like a broken chain
I reach for you even when my heart’s in pain
You twist my words till they taste like bitter rain
But I still crave the sound of your name
[Pre-Chorus – building bassline, subtle snare roll]
I know I should run, know I should let go
But my chest still tightens when you walk through the door
Every insult’s a knife that I keep coming back for
I’m tangled in something I can’t ignore
[Chorus – lush string swells, layered background vocals]
I love you but you’re a bully, you leave me black and blue
You reek of every lie you’ve ever told me, through and through
I’m stuck in this loop where I hate loving you
Toxic lullaby, I can’t stop listening to
[Verse 2 – muted guitar riff, closer vocal delivery]
You mock my dreams when I let you see them raw
You leave me crying then come back begging for more
I scrub my skin till it’s red, trying to wash your scent off
But it sticks to my bones, it’s never gone
[Pre-Chorus – slightly more intense, echoing harmonies]
I know I should run, know I should let go
But my chest still tightens when you walk through the door
Every insult’s a knife that I keep coming back for
I’m tangled in something I can’t ignore
[Chorus – fuller arrangement, more powerful vocal delivery]
I love you but you’re a bully, you leave me black and blue
You reek of every lie you’ve ever told me, through and through
I’m stuck in this loop where I hate loving you
Toxic lullaby, I can’t stop listening to
[Bridge – stripped back to piano and vocals, vulnerable tone]
I’m tired of being your doormat, your punching bag, your fool
I’m tired of loving someone who treats me like a tool
But when you whisper sorry, I forget all the rules
I’m broken, I’m weak, I’m still yours to rule
[Interlude – soft saxophone solo, gentle drum shuffle]
(Instrumental Solo)
[Chorus – final, emotional peak, fading strings]
I love you but you’re a bully, you leave me black and blue
You reek of every lie you’ve ever told me, through and through
I’m stuck in this loop where I hate loving you
Toxic lullaby, I can’t stop listening to
[Outro – fading piano, faint vocal hum]
I can’t stop listening to
I can’t stop loving you
